Third graders at Weaver Lake are ornithologists. They study birds all year, focusing especially on birds' adaptations that help them to survive in their habitats. As a culmination of their year-long study of ornithology, third graders design their own bird, including specific adaptation to help it survive in a chosen environment. Students draw the bird as a sprite in Scratch, and program it to move around and share facts about itself. The students' Create-a-Bird projects are shared on Scratch and are a special feature during our third grade celebration of World Migratory Bird Day.
